Interesting! In American dictionaries, the spelling would be "BAIL." Do the Brits spell this differently?

Cheers,

yes we do, though i reckon we just spell it Bale out and everyone else spells it differently

 

[rochie]

though in all seriousness, i think it might be pretty much interchangeable and Bail may be the correct spelling as Bale usually mean a Bale of hay for example ?

 

[Glider]

Either way I suspect they got the message

He's listed, XIX Armeekorps. Sure looks like Guderian.

Much like him! but He was Executed in 1934! so he was not in Poland invasion of 1939!

That's Guderian for sure. The pic and a couple of others were taken when Hitler visited Guderian's 19th Armoured Corps on 5th September 1939.
